The conference will cover topics such as personal and professional growth, intersectionality, diversity and inclusion, starting and running your own business, mentorship and community, mental health and wellbeing, solutions to address workplace harassment and misconduct, and more.

Body positivity influencer Eggerue said of the new conference, "I am honored to be part of a list that celebrates diversity, rebellious thinking, and non-traditional careers and backgrounds. Community (this year's theme) is important to me- not only because of the social media network I have built through connecting with those who resist social norms but also the Peckham neighbourhood I grew up in, keeping me grounded in my Nigerian roots."

The event will also see a series of live performances from local and international artists, and activities such as yoga classes, traditional Chinese tea ceremonies, cinema screenings, wine tastings, and boat trips.
